Viral die off tends to cause yeast overgrowth, so definitely that

might be the problem.

You can try adding biotin along with the probiotics, to get the yeast

back under control.

Biotin can be constipating, and it is manufactured by the good

bacteria in the gut, so giving a lot of probiotics can also be

constipating. I eliminated that problem at my house by giving magnesium.
